Writing reports without having Crystal

[Ogi]

What's the best way to write reports? Especially ones with graphic images and fancy text?

I'm currently writing it all in HTML, sending it to a Webbrowser and then printing it but not sure on the most efficient way to control the printer?

Cheers in advance,
Carl.

You may try Excel - our users love the reports in Excel because most are familiar with it, can sort it, filter it, etc. You can have very fancy graphs, charts, and so on.

Have fun.

There is always the built in DataReport facility in VB6. It can preview, print, or export reports in HTML or Text formats. It has Line, Shape, and Image controls for use in the reports as well as Label, TextBox, and Function controls.

Being data-driven you don't have to write a ton of code just for creating reports.

Another option is to use Word
